Overall, the first day in Telugu states is fourth highest of all time behind RRR, Salaar and Baahubali: The Conclusion.
Guntur Kaaram performed best in the bigger centres of both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. In the biggest of them all, Hyderabad, the first day reached around Rs. 14 crore, which is the third-highest first day ever, closely following RRR and Salaar, both of which grossed over Rs. 15 crore. The centres outside Hyderabad city in Nizam, however, underperformed big time, which is what kept it not only well short of RRR and Salaar but also under Rs. 20 crore.
